About Me

Stewart StevensonBanffshire, Scotland

Born in 1946 and brought up in Cupar, Fife, I was educated at the local school - Bell Baxter - and then studied Mathematics at the University of Aberdeen, graduating with a modest degree in 1969. That's also the year Sandra & I married. Her family comes from the North East.

Thirty years later I retired from Bank of Scotland as Director of Technology Innovation and was elected to the Scottish Parliament in 2001 as member for Banff & Buchan having first joined the SNP in 1961.

I am a Fellow of The Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, a Member at The Institution of Engineering and Technology, a Professional Member of the Association for Computing Machinery, a Member of the Institute of Advanced Motorists and an Associate Member of the Highland Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association.

“Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and is predicted to be the most common cancer overall by 2030.

“Despite this we know that the quality of care and support men with the condition receive varies throughout Scotland. To address this I reiterate the call on NHS Boards to implement Prostate Cancer UK’s excellent Quality Checklist, and I am delighted to sign for Men United v Prostate Cancer.

“Working together, I know we can win this.”

Scottish football legend Denis Law, chat show host Sir Michael Parkinson and comedy icon Bill Bailey have also joined Mr Stevenson in the campaign.

Drew Lindon, Head of Policy and Campaigns at Prostate Cancer UK, said:

"Prostate cancer survival rates are below the European average, research into the disease lags a decade behind that of other cancers, and quality of care and support varies depending on where you live.

“By signing up, Stewart Stevenson has a place and a voice in a growing movement that’s taking action for men’s health. We are extremely grateful for his ongoing support, and would encourage people throughout Scotland to join Men United to help boot prostate cancer into row Z.”
